    Atl-atl's Alaskan 650si documentation thread!!

    Took the camper off the truck for the first time. Its been a couple months already and Ive been driving the truck a lot so I wanted to make sure the camper is holding up well and didnt have any "issues" from the original install. I fabbed up some brackets to mount my Rieco corner jacks. They...

    Got a spare $100K laying around? Maybe buy a new Ram TRX, but DO NOT drive it much (sez Dodge Spokesman 🤪)

    I see so many TRXs around Arizona that are most definitely being daily driven. Heck, I almost bought a TRX instead of my Power Wagon.

    Thanks for the kind words. We've already taken the camper out a few times and are loving it.

    Ford AEV FXL

    AEVs Prospector XL Ram suspension is crap and everyone knows it. Their non-XL suspension is a glorified spacer lift that uses radius arm drop brackets that are completely useless. Their marketing only fools people like you that didnt do any research before smashing that buy button. It takes...

    Atl-atl's Alaskan 650si documentation thread!!

    Some details on the prep work I did prior to getting the camper installed. The stock brake pads are horrendous on this truck, especially after going up to 40s. So I decided to try out new pads before blowing a whole wad on a big brake kit. My original intent was to run EBC Yellowstuff because...

    Atl-atl's Alaskan 650si documentation thread!!

    1. Actual weight on the tag is 2200 wet. See pic below. With misc. gear, food, etc. added its probably about 2500. 2. The tie downs are the "Happijac" system. They are nice because they are minimal compared to other tie downs but Ive been told that aggressive offroad driving will likely bend the...

    Looking for a company for a complete off-road conversion with single wheels and more.

    This might help. "Hello everyone, I bought a 2025 RAM 5500 yesterday. I want to have it completely modified, similar to the work done by Buckstop. This includes converting it to single rear wheels, a suspension lift kit, a bumper with a winch, and underbody protection. Unfortunately, Buckstop...

    An introduction and another stupid question

    Wow, you can literally see that they used a phillips screw driver to hammer it down. You would put adhesive on both sides of the canvas, so it helps the canvas stick in place as you install it but also seals both sides of the canvas. If you follow the instructions they have you wait a bit after...

    Atl-atl's 2024 Power Wagon documentation thread.

    Yeah maybe "rut" is a poor choice of words haha. Especially with FWC, they seem to sell as quickly as they can build 'em. My neighborhood in Flagstaff has 75 homes and there are 7 people with FWCs!!

    Atl-atl's 2024 Power Wagon documentation thread.

    While I agree that Hallmark builds a high quality product they still look, feel, and smell like a boat inside. They are stuck in the same rut that Four Wheel Campers is. Their interiors are terrible. They look and feel and smell like rental RVs. On the other hand, Alaskan is stuck in a rut in...
